Question 1

Why not just use ChatGPT directly?

Accepted Answer

You can — and RioAsk makes it better. It prepares your question before it reaches any model, so you get more complete, reliable answers without needing to be a prompt expert. Think of it as a smart layer between you and the AI.

Question 2

Does RioAsk replace ChatGPT or Claude?

Accepted Answer

No. RioAsk works with your existing AI tool. It prepares your question so any model gives more reliable, structured answers. You keep using whatever AI you prefer — RioAsk makes the input better.

Question 3

What makes RioAsk different from prompt templates?

Accepted Answer

Templates are static fill-in-the-blank forms. RioAsk understands your topic, detects missing context, asks smart follow-up questions, and builds a structured prompt — all automatically. Same question, same quality, every time. Templates can't do that.

Question 4

How does RioAsk reduce hallucinations?

Accepted Answer

By preparing your question properly before the AI sees it. Smart follow-up questions fill knowledge gaps upfront, safety guardrails are built into every prepared prompt, and high-stakes topics (medical, legal, finance) automatically include extra protections and verification requirements.

Question 5

What happens if my question is unclear?

Accepted Answer

RioAsk spots what's missing and asks targeted follow-up questions before the AI responds. Missing context is resolved upfront — not guessed by the model. This is a feature, not a limitation.

Question 6

What do you mean by consistent results?

Accepted Answer

The same question always gets the same quality preparation. RioAsk goes through multiple checks to understand your question, gather missing context, and structure everything for the best answer — no randomness, no variation between runs.

Question 7

Can I use it for legal, medical, or finance questions?

Accepted Answer

Yes — these are high-stakes topics with extra safeguards. RioAsk automatically adds professional disclaimers, asks more follow-up questions to understand your specific situation, and includes instructions for the AI to acknowledge uncertainty rather than make things up.

Question 8

Do you store or train on my data?

Accepted Answer

Your data is never used to train any model — ours or anyone else's. We store prompt history only to power your dashboard. You can view, export, or delete all your data at any time. See our Privacy Policy for details.

Question 9

Is there a free plan?

Accepted Answer

Yes — the Free tier is free forever with 10 questions per day across 5 fields. No credit card required. Pro unlocks all 14 fields, unlimited questions, quality scoring, document grounding, and prompt history.

Question 10

Can teams share prompts and manage access?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Teams and Enterprise plans include shared prompt libraries, org-level roles (Owner, Admin, Member), audit logging, and API access. Enterprise adds SSO, custom domains, and dedicated support.

Question 11

How does the browser extension work?

Accepted Answer

The extension adds a small overlay to supported AI chat interfaces (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Copilot, Perplexity, Mistral, DeepSeek). Click "Ask Rio" and your question is prepared and structured before being sent to the model. Same quality, zero context-switching.

Question 12

Is there an API?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The REST API lets you use RioAsk programmatically. Send a question, receive a structured prompt with topic detection, quality scores, and metadata. Available on Teams and Enterprise plans.

Question 13

What fields does RioAsk cover?

Accepted Answer

14 fields: Software, Data & AI, Medical, Legal, Finance, Business, Marketing, Writing, Design, Career, Education, Science, Travel, and General — each with hundreds of specialties.

Question 14

How accurate is RioAsk at understanding my question?

Accepted Answer

Very accurate for clear, single-topic questions. For ambiguous or multi-topic questions, RioAsk asks for clarification instead of guessing — so you always get a safe, useful outcome. Learn more on our Reliability page.
